Teresa, I learned while stationed in the Aleutians decades ago that wind chill can be dangerous. But yeah, if you're staying indoors, it's not usually a factor ... except that it's harder to keep the house warm when the frigid winds are howling. :)

If I hear "polar vortex" one more time I may scream. One of the local commentators has taken to playing the "Jaws" theme every time it comes up just out of disgust - we are going to have one night of wind chill of -21 and that's it but you'd think the world was ending.

In January of 1888, the Children's Blizzard dropped temps an estimated 100 degrees in a few hours time. Sometimes it gets cold in the winter.

About Me

I believe in the Constitution, strength in national defense, limited government, individual freedom, and personal responsibility as the concrete foundation for American government. They reinforce the resolve that the United States is the greatest country in the world and we can all be eternally grateful to our founding fathers for the beautiful legacy they left us today. Above all, we must remember that all of man’s freedoms come ultimately from God.
